Grapefruit Cake

This is a light, slightly tart dessert. Perfect for hot summer days or for the person who doesn’t care for overly sweet desserts.

If you don’t make it to The Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, check Starring Rolls next door, you can get it “to go” there (most days). If you’re not at Disney, you can make it yourself.
